This is a Doodle Series Pattern, which means it includes micro charts intended to be used as mix-and-match colorwork motifs throughout the project. Use the charts in this pattern, or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!

This pattern is worked in the round as a tube, from side to side. Beginning with a provisional cast on, the stranded colorwork is then knit to desired finished circumference. Then the two ends are grafted together for a seamless infinity cowl, with or without a twist.
